- I was exhausted - stayed up very late with all the preparations and blogging the night before.
- Heat was stifling
- DVD projector which worked perfectly during set-up, didn't work for the real show.
- Show had to go on without powerpoint assistance...
- Couple team members felt pretty crummy and without energy
- Show went on without human strength for some...
- Previously recorded video interview for Sponsorship documentary had to be redone
- Huge downpour hit Chisinau for our lunch break.
- CERI person who offered to buy groceries for our lunch forgot - ordered pizza
- Camp didn't get rain... until we arrived for the afternoon segment
- Had to go to Plan B at camp and get all kids into the dining room for a DVD
- Only DVD I had with me was the 80 minute GOD'S STORY in Romanian
- 12 boys and 12 girls stayed engaged for the whole film - Genesis - Jesus
- No WiFi connection at the team house in the afternoon and evening
- No blogging... went to bed early.
- Slept 8 hrs and felt very rested
- Found out I was the only one who couldn't get WiFi - my computer had gotten that function turned off (Had God said, "You need sleep more than your blogging" ?)
- Rain has brought a touch less heat
- Team is staying bonded and courageous
- Gospel seeds are being planted
- Kids are having fun
- 2nd video interview was probably better
- DVD projector just needed the right operator - has worked well
- Took all our donated clothes and shoes to camp in the afternoon - outfitted nearly every person at camp with shoes and clothing - at last 5 items

With your prayers and God's provision, we are overcoming the circumstances that might diminish the strength of our presence. We are choosing to stay engaged though we have been physically weary. We are trusting that God will water the seed we plant and in time have a bountiful harvest.

Praise God for how He has demonstrated His provisions for you, with all the obstacles you experienced on Monday.
In speaking about the power of prayer in Jim Cymbala's book, "Fresh Faith', he says, "When we seek God for answers, we must persevere in prayer, letting it build up day after day until the force of it becomes a mighty tide pushing over all obstacles. God is drawn to prayer. He delights in communion with us. Prayer releases His blessing into our lives." As the angel said to Zechariah when he told him his wife, Elizabeth, would bear him a son, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard."
I pray you are free from fear, as you trust in God's answers to your every need.
Don't fret about not blogging on Monday. I knew God must have other intentions for you. (like sleeping!!)
Enjoying the pictures. What an awesome experience for The Wordens to share together.
In loving perseverence of prayer,
Marge
